A Jedi student. They are past the first part of their Jedi training and are now apprentices to other Jedi masters. They have exceptional skills, to become powerful and great. So Padawans are also called 'My apprentice' by their masters. Or 'My Padawan'
Padawans have small plaits in their hair. This is a good way to spot them. Very cute.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: What took you so long?

Anakin: Well, you know, Master, I couldn't find a speeder that I really liked...

Anakin: ...with an open cockpit and the right speed capabilities.

Obi-Wan: If you spent as much time practicing your saber techniques as you did your wit, you'd rival Master Yoda as a swordsman.

Anakin: I thought I already did.

Obi-Wan: Only in your mind, my very young apprentice.
